About this task

The WebSphere Customization Toolbox contains the following optional tools:
  • Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool
    The Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool configures the web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server so that your web server and application server can communicate with each other.
    Note: This tool can be installed and run on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris systems.
  • Profile Management Tool (z/OS only)
    The Profile Management Tool (z/OS only) creates customized definitions on an Intel-based Windows or Linux operating system that are used to create or augment WebSphere Application Server profiles on z/OS systems. Each customization definition includes a set of customized jobs with associated instructions. The generated jobs must be uploaded to and run on the target z/OS system.
    Restriction: This tool can be installed and run on Intel-based Windows and Linux platforms only.
  • z/OS Migration Management Tool
    The z/OS Migration Management Tool creates migration definitions on an Intel-based Windows or Linux operating system that are used to migrate a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS node. Each migration definition consists of a set of customized migration jobs with associated instructions. The generated migration jobs must be uploaded to and run on the target z/OS system.
    Restriction: This tool can be installed and run on Intel-based Windows and Linux platforms only.
  • Remote Installation Tool for IBM i
    The iRemoteInstall command that is installed when you select this option allows you to install IBM Installation Manager or a WebSphere Application Server product offering from a Windows workstation to a remote target IBM i system. The iRemoteInstall command is installed into the following directory:
    wct_root/Remote_Installation_Tool_for_IBM_i
    Restriction: This tool can be installed and run on Windows operating systems only.
